You can watch the video at the bottom of this post, we first spoke about this game back in late August and we were impressed by the fact it allows you to battle it out between superstars, past and present, but if you check out the image we have embedded below you can see just how limited the game is visually (by the way the image is meant to look like Chris Jericho).

Now as we previously stated you should not dwell on the graphics, but instead think about gameplay, we are told that there are over 40 superstars and some all-new game modes which you can play whilst witnessing “eye-popping 3D” – we don’t have a full roster for you, but in the video we spotted Chris Jericho, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Macho Man Randy Savage, John Cena, Rey Myserio, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Randy Orton, Triple H, John Morrison, Sheamus, Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, The Rock and many more – the trailer says that this is the greatest roster of all time and we must admit it is hard not to be impressed.

If you overlook the limited visuals the game looks quite fun to play and will perhaps appeal to a younger audience, the slams and jumps from the turnbuckles are over-the-top, but let’s face it we are not looking for a wrestling simulator we want epic battles between Big Show and Andre The Giant, Hogan and Cena, The Rock and Randy Savage – we hope the controls make this game a joy to play.

Check out the video below and be sure to let us know whether you think the poor graphics matter.

IGN first picked up on its graphics, saying that they liked the style this game went for as it was distinct and bright, as for the sound there are no major issues J.R and the Jerry Lawler announce the matches and the voiceovers are good. There were mixed reviews on the grappling system early on it seems great and gives you an arcade style of fighting, however when you try and carry out more complex actions it gets confusing.

The key word to describe the game best is probably just ‘fun’ because the game doesn’t give too much in the way of depth, but it is still enjoyable enough to play for a few hours. The lasting appeal is not huge simply due to the complexity of the grappling system (which needs a manual or tutorial system), online play being jumpy and there are long loading screens, however all-in-all it sets solid foundations for a follow-up release.

The overall score given by IGN was 7/10 which is good but not likely to compete with the more established Smackdown vs Raw series, however is this a bad thing? The idea for this game was to look and feel arcade-y and also to be different, so in this sense it has succeeded. It is certainly worth downloading the demo at least to try.

If you have been tuning into WWE programming, you’ll already know about All Stars since it has been promoted everywhere, and we’ve done our part by providing you with screenshots and gameplay videos along the way, but we have something even better which may tempt you into a purchase if you’re still undecided.

How about 15 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay action? That’s what we have courtesy of the guys over at Eurogamer who have provided the video. It starts off with WWE champion Randy Orton issuing a challenge to the rest of the WWE roster, then its up to you to work your way up the ladder and take him on at Wrestlemania.

You then get to see two full matches, the first a singles match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre and then a Triple Threat Elimination Match between CM Punk, John Morrison and Kofi Kingston. You can see some of the exaggerated moves in full action here – are you a fan of this style or do you prefer the classic gameplay seen in the Smackdown Vs Raw games?

Check out the video over at Eurogamer here.

Now we appear to have more news, only this time it’s about a new trailer. According to Lisa over at el33tonline.com, the new trailer gives us a brief look at the game’s four different match types. This includes Steel Cage, Extreme Rules, Elimination and Fatal 4 Way.

The upcoming arcade-style brawler promises one of the greatest line-ups ever assembled in a wrestling-based video game. Gamers will have the opportunity to create matches between the WWE Superstars and WWE Legends, who as you know all have their own finishes, signature moves and abilities.

Players will have the opportunity to try out strong grapples, responsive quick grapples, both standing and running attacks or combinations sequences. You can check out the trailer for yourself over at el33tonline.com. Are you looking forward to playing the WWE All Stars game?

According to a recent article by Shubhankar Parijat over at gamingbolt.com, the upcoming demo will feature two characters from the WWE All Stars roster (which you can view in a previous article here), Rey Mysterio from the ‘Acrobat’ class and The Ultimate Warrior from the ‘Brawler’ class.

As Parijat notes, the ‘Brawler’ class is very ‘button-mash’ friendly, making The Ultimate Warrior the ideal character for casual players. The ‘Acrobat’ class on the other hand is more finesse orientated, making Rey Mysterio the perfect choice for hardcore fighting fans.

Although the demo features two-player local multiplayer, it unfortunately doesn’t feature online multiplayer. Because WWE All Stars spans across generations, parents will no doubt want to play the game with their children. The WWE All Stars game is due to arrive at the end May/beginning of June.

Are you pleased that there is a demo on the way? Who will you want to play as, Rey Mysterio or The Ultimate Warrior?

However, according to a recent article over on thegamersparadise.com website, the publisher THQ has just confirmed the first half of the official WWE All Stars roster. Although we have probably mentioned quite a few of them already, there are no doubt some new names on the confirmed list.

The list of Super Stars and Legends that have been officially confirmed for the WWE All Stars game include Jack Swagger, Randy Orton, Edge, Kane, Big Show, Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter, Andre the Giant, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus and Jake “The Snake.”

Besides revealing the first half of the official roster, THQ has also released a new batch of screenshots. As Tamoor Hussain over at computerandvideogames.com recently reported, the new screens show off the finishing moves of characters such as Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart and Edge.

As Robin Parker from the godisgeek.com website recently noted, the release of the official box art for WWE All Stars – which will be available for the PlayStation 3, PSP, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii – showed off a couple of yet to be announced wrestlers including Hulk Hogan.

This may come as a surprise to some wrestling fans, considering Hogan currently wrestles for WWE’s competitors Total Non-stop Action Wrestling (TNA). There was previous speculation that he would not be involved in the WWE All Stars game, due to his TNA contract.

The other wrestler revealed within the box art is 1980s legend The Ultimate Warrior. According to James Orry over at videogamer.com, each WWE Legend and WWE Superstar will be equipped with their very own signature moves, renowned finishers and individual abilities.

You can view the new trailers on a recent post by Yogev on the nextgn.com website. Are you looking forward to purchasing the WWE All Stars game? If so, which platform are you buying it for?

We have a new trailer for the game to show you now, as well as a reminder that this game will be available on multiplatform on March 29th. Developers THQ have just confirmed the inclusion of Macho Man Randy Savage too, which is particarly exciting since he hasn’t been featured in an official WWE product for quite some time.

He takes the center stage in the latest trailer, which you can check out below. The game will feature a collection of other legends, such as Andre the Giant, the Million Dollar Man, Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat and Bret Hart. Unlike Smackdown Vs Raw, the gameplay differs considerably, as it offers a more arcade-style approach when grappling, resulting in a lot of ‘over the top’ moves and exaggerations.

Here is a list of the roster for the game so far, courtesy of IGN, with more additions to come along the way:

- John Cena
- The Rock
- Andre the Giant
- Bret Hart
- Million Dollar Man
- Rey Mysterio
- Stone Cold Steve Austin
- Triple H
- John Morrison
- Macho Man” Randy Savage
- Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
- Big Show
- Kofi Kingston
- Sheamus

You’ll also be pleased to know that the classic Jerry the King Lawler and Jim Ross (JR) partnership will be returning on commentary duties. Let us know your thoughts on the current roster so far, and who you would like to see featured in the game. It would be nice if the Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan make an appearance, but sadly, I don’t think it will happen considering that both of them have distanced themselves from the WWE at the moment.

If this game is anything like the classic WWF Wrestlefest arcade game that was released in 1991, then consider us interested – that game definitely set the benchmark.
